. . Minutes - Plan Commission Page 10 January 27, 1988 Ms. Elwood stated to Commission members that after consultation with the Fire Marshal and Public Works Department, the proposed subdivision plat complied with zoning requirements as well as the subdivision ordinance in so far as all proposed lots were accessed by a 30 foot wide private roadway easement and there was adequate fire protection for existing buildings.
